about me

I am a doctoral candidate in Indiana University’s Learning Sciences program, where my research focuses on the LGBTQ identities, transmedia literacy practices, and applications of anti-oppressive pedagogies to support LGBTQ learners.

The difference between enabling children to learn and empowering them to resist is the difference between reproducing an unjust culture and working to transform it. You can read more here.
